OR Interview Today

lookingforhelp_2

Morning All,
Got my OR interview today at 2pm:eek: hubby's at 3pm.
I'm dreading it......can't think straight:o
I've made a few notes,hubby's wage is about to decrease by about £400 so hoping not to get a IPA.(will they believe us or will they need proof?)
Worried about getting a BRU/BRO,not been gambling or anything like that,just spending/borrowing more than i/we should:o
Wish it was this morning. Feel like i'll go mad waiting.

Hi Sarah

Good luck, from what everyone on here has said, the anticipation is far worse than the actual call.

You'll be fine, will be all over in a few hours. Be honest - they can't ask anymore from you that that xx

Hi Both
Hope all goes well. Don't forget it sometimes goes quiet but the OR is just making notes, does not mean anything sinister. The build up is so nerve wracking. I was lucky i worked on the morn of mine so it helped take my mind off it. Try to keep yourself as busy as poss. Get yourself organised. Then 10 mins before get comfortable, have your SOA with you, a drink,fags if you smoke and a big sign saying "don't offer more info than they ask and don't WAFFLE". Honest you will be back here this afternoon wondering what all the fuss was about. Good luck to you both. Will be watching about 4pm for your update!.Dalip

with everything later...i'll only echo what everyone else has said..try & relax (easier said I know) you've done the work & got a few notes, remember its your chance to ask anything as well as the OR's, remember to answer whats asked try not to waffle on be open and honest & you'll be fine..one thing to remember though during the cal while the OR is writing up there will be silence..dont be tempted to start chatting

Once its all over though you'll seriously wonder what all the fuss was about

Hi there! Make sure you have everything laid out ready - all your paperwork, spare paper and pen for notes and some drinks to hand. Have you made some notes about how you found yourself in this position? I know that it went on the BR forms, but they will ask and you may want to elabotate.

And its not that bad. Its all over by tea-time! Get something nice (but cost effective!) in for dinner with a cheap bottle of wine. And relax..............
